A mild winter left the state in drought, setting the stage for a brutal season—and officials warn it’s only getting started. While Portland remains untouched, the recent Lyle Hill Fire burned 200+ acres near the Columbia Gorge, closing the Lyle Cherry Orchard Preserve indefinitely. No injuries were reported, but the damage is severe, with trails destroyed and trees posing safety risks. The land trust is calling for community patience and involvement in the long road to restoration, emphasizing that healing the land will take months—and collective effort.
